After reading Lolita I had to pick my jaw up from the floor. My feelings are utter disgust after finishing the reading. The fact that H. is attracted to Lolita, a 12 year old little girl. The thing that “sparked” his interest in young girls was when his childhood sweetheart died. I feel like by reading about H’s feelings I was, in some sense, defending him. I don’t agree with his way of thinking or feeling and therefore why should I continue to read about his feelings towards Lolita. Lolita’s real name is Dolores but he gives her the nickname Lolita. He moves into her home and spends all of his time watching and writing about her. He cant seem to keep his mind off of this young, innocent little girl. If he was in todays world, he would be locked up as he rightfully deserves to be. Men like this are dangerous and should not be around children. He becomes so attracted to this young girl that it makes me want to jump into the pages and slap him. It’s sad to be able to get into the mind of men like “H” because it just makes me hate people like him more. The thing that is even more sad is that there are many men and women that have these thoughts in our neighborhoods about young children and the fact that they can’t control or get rid of it is scary.
